Led Zeppelin--II (1969/Atlantic) Rating--8.5

---

A big breakout and improvement, with kudos given due to the fact that it was released in the same year as the debut. Just about every track receives airtime on AOR stations, even today. Solid work throughout-- and it's 30 freakin' years old!!
What can be said? "Whole Lotta Love," "Heartbreaker," "Living Loving Maid," "Ramble On".... the list is daunting, to say the least. Still to be mentioned is the grooving guitar parts of "Moby Dick," the smooth flow of "What Is And What Should Never Be," the solid "Lemon Song," and also the occasionally overlooked "Bring It On Home."
Again, it's been 30 years... Time to dust this gem off again, eh?
